Adding the Delete row option to a Data Form

  1. Open the Data Form.
  2. Click to highlight the DB Table.
  3. Add one column to the DBTable by increasing the Columns value by one.

    In this example, the DBTable is increased from four columns to five:



  4. From the Controls tab of the Toolbox, add a Label field control to the first row of the new column.


  5. Change the Caption name of the new Label control so that the name describes the purpose of the column.
  6. Change the Name of the new Label control so that the name describes the label control’s purpose.
  7. Make any other necessary changes to the new Label control.

    In this example, a Label with the caption “Delete Record” is added to first row of the new column within the DBTable. Other changes to the Label control include:

    • Width: 256
    • Background: Purple
    • Font: 12, Bold


  8. From the Data tab of the Toolbox, add a Delete Check Box control to the second row of the new column within the DBTable.


  9. To obtain a cleaner effect, the Delete row caption was deleted, leaving just the check box.


  10. Verify that the Delete Check Box control points to the appropriate Datasource.
  11. Change the Delete Check Box Name so that the name appropriately describes the control’s purpose.
  12. Make any other necessary changes to the form.
  13. Save the completed form.
